Result of being soused regularly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ensue

'result' is the definition.
('ensue' can be a synonym of 'result')

'being soused regularly' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'being'+'soused'='beingsoused'
The alternate letters of 'beingsoused' are 'ENSUE'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ensue that I've seen before include "Transpire" , "Happen - to come later" , "Turn out" , "Follow afterwards" , "Result in a particular way" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
